• Visual Studio Team System Publishing button is disabled

  I am not able to publish the test result. I have some web tests and some load tests. The solution and its project are built with no errors.

• Visual Studio Express Editions (newbie) How to refresh text box contents

  Hi Dare I ask another question! I have a second form which opens via a button on main form. This form shows a score table (32 textboxes) The display/saving/loading/hiding for this form all work OK. I now have a new score (4 of the text boxes) to change. The following Sub seems to achieve the resorting of the ScoresTable Collection (the score table text boxes) inserting a new score appropriately. However, this doesn't change the values on the score table but the changes are saved to disc from a subsequent Write operation. So if I rerun the App, the new scores are now showing correctly. What am I missing here to make the changes ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Synchronization between DataContexts

  How about synchronization of entities between DataContexts So that when an entity in one DataContext is changed and changes are saved to db (only after saving), corresponding entities in other DataContexts are also updated (unchanged fields) and notified about it. The same with loading of one entity; AFAIK, it is implemented already that before loading it is checked whether an entity is already loaded; this behavior can be extended with checking whether the entity is loaded in another DataContext.   There can be a class, say DataContextSynchronization which has 1)      a list of DataContext objects, which ...Show All

• SQL Server return xml from .net strored procedure

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Context-sensitive Actions pane: Odd update behavior

  I have an Excel workbook that contains two named Ranges: OrderDate and ShipDate. When I select either of these cells, I want the Actions pane to display a user control that contains a label and a DateTimePicker control. I want the user control to show up in the Actions pane only when one of these cells is selected, so I have code on the ranges' Selected and Deselected event handlers to add or remove the control (see code below--SetDate is the name of the user control). The solution works fine when I put my cursor on OrderDate and then move to ShipDate. It also works fine when I move from any other cell to either OrderDate or ShipDate. The so ...Show All

• SQL Server Trouble with OLEDB Data Source

  A little background first. I have a header table and a detail table in my staging area/ods. I need to join them together to flatten them out for load. The Detail Table is pretty deep - approx 100 million rows. If I use the setting (table or view) and set the table name (say, the detail table), the package starts up nicely. But if I switch the OLE DB Source to using a SQL Statement and then join the tables in the SQL, then the Pre-Execute phase of the package takes a VERY long time. I have waited as long as 30 minutes for this phase to complete, but it never finished. Another twist...If I take the join select statement out of the OLEDB ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Possible bug with Buttons and EditingCommands?

  I found what seems to be a bug with buttons when setting the command to one of the EditingCommands. If the button is inside a toolbar the button becomes enabled/disabled as appropriate, but if the button is NOT in a toolbar it doesn't, and always stays disabled (you can verify this by running the example below). This behavior was also present in the Feb CTP, but I held off posting hoping that it might get fixed. Is this a bug, or is there a logical explanation for this behavior <Window x:Class="WPFRichEdit.Window1" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.micr ...Show All
